REACH BLACK BOYS™ is generational work rooted in a belief in what’s possible when Black boys are seen, supported, and challenged to grow.
We are not a non-profit organization, but an intentionally formed mobilization effort to REACH BLACK BOYS right where they are, to go places they’ve never been.
FOUNDER, REACH BLACK BOYS™
CO-FOUNDER, INCREDIBLE ME
Sir Brandon Lewis is not just a co-creator — he is the living proof of what INCREDIBLE ME stands for. A Pennsylvania native, former Read 2 Succeed intern, and now a UK-trained soccer player, Brandon embodies the journey from neighborhood classrooms to international soccer fields. His story shows every boy that when you read, you lead.
Brandon brings both visibility and credibility. He makes literacy aspirational — showing that athletes read, leaders read, dreamers read. He turns a stereotype on its head: books and sports are not opposites, they are teammates. Discipline, focus, and faith fuel both.
His presence makes reading relatable, cool, and powerful. He models balance, responsibility, and determination. He proves that sharpening your mind opens the same doors as sharpening your skills. And he demonstrates that true leadership means reaching back — using his platform to lift the boys who will follow him.
With Sir Brandon as the face, INCREDIBLE ME is more than a book club. It is a movement at a critical time in our country — one where boys see themselves as capable, confident, and already incredible.
Brandon is a junior Business Management major at Penn State University, where he has earned Dean’s List honors for five straight semesters and maintains a 3.5 GPA. His studies focus on leadership, management, and communication—skills that translate directly to his growth as a student-athlete and business leader on and off the field.

CO-FOUNDER, INCREDIBLE ME
Shaleah Laché Sutton doesn’t just build things—she anchors them. An unconventional leader that’s never waited for permission or an election. For nearly two decades, she’s led work that centers Black girls and women, shaped movements, facilitated successful collaborations, and built platforms that last. She’s been strategic, consistent, and most importantly, invested, long before titles or trends. Her influence lives in the doors she’s opened, the legacies she’s helped shape, and the people still moving because of it.
She’s the brilliant force behind the mission-driven UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT™ for Girls, FOR THE LOVE OF BLACK GIRLS®, and a long list of rooms, moments, and missions where she’s moved things forward—quietly and with intention.
Her instinct for purposeful connection, what some call dot-connecting, isn’t networking; it’s vision mapping. And her skill in negotiation isn’t just about getting a “yes”, it’s about leverage and maximization of purpose—approached with the kind of sophisticated clarity that turns momentum into legacy.
With recognitions from Forbes.com, PECO, YWCA, Philadelphia City Council, and the Pennsylvania State Senate, Shaleah isn’t new to impact—she’s just not performing it. She moves deliberately, builds patiently, and owns every inch of what she creates.
Whether advising creatives, producing summits, moving policy, in the groundwork with startups and grassroots organizations, curating experiences, supporting athletes, or helping brands find clarity—her work is rooted. She’s created frameworks, spaces, and experiences that didn’t exist before—and set a standard others now follow.
